Qi Rusong squeezed out a smile, he didn't know what Gu Yang's purpose was, but it was definitely not simple. "Where in the Ghost Forest?" He asked.

"No... Ignorance... It's a subordinate... of people... I did..."

"In that case, my lord. He has already confessed to murdering your father, and he should be executed for his crimes..."Gu Yang patted Qi Rusong on the shoulder.

"Ling Chi was executed... "Fear pierces the heart and lungs like a sharp blade." No... No... Even if he wanted to resist, he didn't have the strength. His foundation has been abolished, his body has been drained by scourging, starvation, and skinning.

Qi Rusong looked at Gu Yang, is this trying to harm me?

Although the sins committed by the elder brother are worthy of the death penalty. But after all, he was the prince of the Southern Realm, and there had never been a descendant of the five major families in the Great Xia Kingdom who had been subjected to such capital punishment. If it spreads, not only will the Qi clan lose face, but their reputation will not be good.

So he asked, "Do you really confess?" ”

"Ling Chi was executed? No, I don't plead guilty..."

"I won't betray you!" Qi Rusong told him, "I allow you to wear black armor and join the Demon Hunting Gate to atone for your sins!" ”

"Join the Demon Hunter Gate," he whispered through cracked lips. What about my wife? And my children..."

"As long as you are willing to give everything, we will allow Wang Minjun and her family to step down from all their duties and return to the place she calls home to enjoy their old age in peace."

"Lord Qi? Do you really hope so? Gu Yang said coldly. This man is guilty of the felony of murdering his father and plotting rebellion! If you keep him in this world, your prince will have a bad name and a bad word! After all, he is Qi Tai's legitimate heir! ”

"I have proven myself through the [Swing Trial], and my throne is in accordance with the rules of the South."

"That's just your southern border, and the other four realms of my Great Xia Kingdom don't have such rules!"

"I've made up my mind!" Qi Rusong turned his head to look at his brother and asked. "How? Say your answer! ”

"I... I plead guilty! ”

Gu Yang sneered, "Then hurry up and take him away, let him sign all the guilt immediately, this smell of this guy is about to smoke me to death." ”

"Now?"

"Yes, who knows if this guy will regret it then!" Gu Yang said, "Right now, while those adults in Lingnan City are here." Let him confess his sins in front of everyone! ”

As he spoke, the second prince of the Great Xia Kingdom ordered the guards and asked them to take Qi Rubai away.

This is the South, and these are my men! Qi Rusong thought to himself, but he still held back.

They got out of prison. Gu Yang led in front, Qi Rusong chased away with a torch in the back, and the former southern prince was so tame that he was like a dog with a tail.

When he came out to the courtyard, the dazzling sunlight shone on Qi Rubai's face.

The sunlight stung him so much that he couldn't open his eyes, and it carried all kinds of vague memories of all kinds of smells. The world, he told himself, this is the taste of the world. He didn't know how long he had been in the dark dungeon, ten days? Twenty days? Or a month?

How do I know? Could it be that I went crazy down there, and half a lifetime of my life passed in the blink of an eye?

The wind swirled across the courtyard and through his dirty, thin rags, causing goosebumps. The weather is cold and wet, and although there is no snow yet, winter is just around the corner.

He raised his hand to observe, so thin and pale that he couldn't help himself.

When I came to the hall, a banquet was being held inside, and it was very lively. The air was filled with the aroma of fine wine and barbecue, which seduced Qi Rubai's stomach and stomach gurgling, and his mouth was full of salivation.

The palace guard gave him a push, and he staggered past the hall. He noticed that everyone was staring at him.

Most of the people in the upper seats of the high platform knew him, and only a few he had not seen. Some frowned as he passed, others laughed at the sight of him.

They were all once my subordinates, Qi Rubai thought to himself.

Gu Yang and Qi Rusong walked up to the high table in the center together, which was the seat that belonged to the king of the southern realm and the distinguished guests.

Seeing Qi Rubai, Yin Lin looked surprised, "Lord Wang? Second prince? ”

"Don't you know?" Gu Yang smiled, "The former son of Lingnan City, he wants to explain things today!" ”

"Are you sure it's him?" Stone Snake Road. "It's unbelievable, people say he likes to laugh, and he always has a smile on his face."

"I don't laugh so often now." Gu Yang said, "A mouthful of white and beautiful good teeth, it seems that someone knocked out some of them." ”

"It's better to cut your throat," Stone Snake said. "The only appropriate punishment for a dog that revolts against its biological father is to strip it of its skin."

"Oh, if he's not honest, he can give it a try." Gu Yang said.

"Don't... Don't do that, I'll be honest, I will! Qi Rubai licked his lips and explained hard.

"Then let's get started, the important ministers of the southern realm are here!" Guyang Road.

Qi Rusong and Yin Lin exchanged glances, and the other party immediately understood, "If you have anything to explain, you don't have to rush for a while," he said, "Today is the day to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second prince, and other things can be put aside." ”

"He's covered in and swill." The stone snake threw away the bones he had just gnawed, and then pretended to be angry and said, "Why do you have to make a live treasure to disgust us during the meal?" ”

Gu Yang looked at the stone snake, "It's a trivial matter to catch the wind and wash the dust, but it's a big thing to be able to uphold justice for the southern border!" ”

You are not from my southern border, Qi Rusong thought to himself.

Everyone was silent, so Gu Yang continued, "Shizi, confess your crimes!" ”

"I... Committed... Rebellion, murder of my father, framing my brother and many other crimes. Now I am willing to accept any punishment, but I beg to spare my wife and children! ”

"What else? Say everything, including why did you rebel, why did you kill your father, and why did you frame your royal brother? ”

"Why..."Qi Rubai set his eyes on Gu Yang, "I... Afraid of the Son... Position... Taken! ”

"Oh? That's weird. Gu Yang said, "You are already a prince, why should you worry about this?" ”

"My father, the king, intends to bring the son of the world... Position... Passed on to Rusong!!"

"Rusong was a demon hunter at that time, how could he take the throne of your son?" Gu Yang looked at Qi Rubai meaningfully, as if expecting him to say something. "It's all this time, what are you worried about?"

Yin Lin noticed the abnormality and hurriedly interrupted, "Take this rebel down, there is nonsense here, and everyone's interest has been swept away." ”

"No, let him continue." Qi Rusong instead wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the second prince.

"Am I going to tell the truth?" His brother asked worriedly.

He was terrified of the inquisitor in the prison, and the last time he tried to bite off his skinned, painful ring finger.

But the inquisitor never simply cut off people's fingers. He likes to peel off the skin of one finger first, and then let the bare flesh crack and fester.

He had been whipped, tortured, and knifed, but no cruelty could match half the pain of being skinned. The pain can be maddening, and no one will survive for long.

Sooner or later, the tortured person will howl "Please, please cut it down, I can't stand it," and then the inquisitor will be gracious enough to grant you your wish.

"Naturally, it's for you to tell the truth." Gu Yang told him.

"Because I was told that my father was a time-traveler! And Rusong is... Son of the Traverser! ”

"Fuck your stinking fart!" The stone snake said angrily. "Lao Tzu sees that you have itchy skin!"

Qi Rubai didn't know what to say, so he could only silence. He vaguely heard that the inquisitor was sent by the stone snake in front of him.

"Lord, second prince. This person is so obsessed that at this time, he is still talking about it, and he will drag it down and cut it down. A southern lord persuaded.

"Yes, Lord Wang, such a villain should have let his head fall to the ground a long time ago!"

Qi Rusong smiled, maybe you have persuaded my brother like this before.

He looked at Gu Yang, and then asked, "Second Prince, do you still need to ask again?" ”

"Ha, lord. I'm really throwing myself into your brother, and I can tell a lie about this. Gu Yang said, "Take it down, I don't want to see such scoundrels again." ”

Things are definitely not so simple, Qi Rusong understands in his heart. "Wait," he called out to his men, "now that the matter has come to this, it is better to settle the matter once and for all." ”

"Oh? How to solve it completely! ”

"Three days later, in Lingnan City Square, I will gather all the people in the city and give him a fair verdict!" Qi Rusong said, "As I said not long ago, if he admits all the guilt, I can spare him from death." ”

"Lord, no!" Yin Lin immediately persuaded.

The stone snake also hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling him to take back his words.

"Haha, this is your southern border, and it should be up to you!" Gu Yang immediately changed his face.

It's you who have been acting on behalf of you, Qi Rusong thought to himself, "Take him down," he ordered while filling himself with fine wine, "Second prince." Come, I'll toast you! ”

Qi Rubai was taken back to the prison, and the banquet continued, but after such a fuss, the atmosphere of the entire hall became wonderful.

The silent crowd watched as they sang and danced, replacing the previous noise.

When the reception banquet was about to end, Qi Rusong changed and Gu Yang said, "Second prince, are you willing to talk alone?" ”

The other party understands.

So the two of them left the hall and walked outside the door.

"Second prince, if you need my service, please tell me directly." Qi Rusong said.

"Haha! Prince Qi is really fast-talking. Gu Yang laughed, "I want you to help me and be my courtier!" ”

"My Qi clan has always been the courtiers of the Great Xia Kingdom, so I will naturally obey your orders."

"No, I want you to be my vassal!"

Qi Rusong's brows furrowed, he was most afraid of hearing such words, "What will you say after that?"

"You're a smart man, so I won't sell it!" Gu Yang said, "Your brother just accused your father of being a traverser, I think he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous if he didn't have some evidence."

According to the laws of my Great Xia Kingdom, if anyone reports that the heirs of the five major families are [Crossing Demon] incidents, as the prince of Great Xia, I also have the right to intervene. And what will happen to the Crossing Demon and the Son of the Crossing Demon, you should know! ”

You threaten me! Qi Rusong subconsciously clenched his fists.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Yang continued, "This visit to the southern realm, I also pleaded with my father many times, and he agreed. The purpose is to get to know you, a man who single-handedly defeated four [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable] powerhouses. ”

Coming for me! "What will happen after I become your vassal?" Qi Rusong asked.

Gu Yang's face changed: "Help me win the throne!" ”
